[The Finale]
The S10 World Series finally came to an end, and Captain Huan flew back to China the next afternoon.
At the Imperial Capital International Airport, there was a sea of fans who came to pick them up. Everyone held up a huge banner that read "Welcome World Champions Back to China." There were also many girls who bought flowers for the contestants.
Ye Shaoyang listened to the deafening screams from the crowd and felt the passion of the Huan fans.
Coach Lin said "thank you" as he helped the team clear the way. Everyone got on the bus sent by the club and returned to Huan Base together.
Huan's staff were already waiting at the entrance, and even the club's big boss had personally come. Everyone applauded enthusiastically for the contestants. Chi Shuo took out the golden championship trophy from his suitcase, and everyone tacitly went to the trophy showroom on the first floor of Huan's building and looked up.
In the trophy showroom, there were all kinds of awards that the Huan team had won over the past ten years, including the three national championships, the second place in the World Series, the Silver Dragon Cup, the Goddess Cup, and other cup titles, as well as Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang's two individual championships.
Every trophy recorded a period of exciting history.
And the seat at the very front was always empty.
Everyone knew what it meant, and they also knew that only the World Champions' trophy was qualified to be placed there. It was the obsession of generations of contestants.
Coach Lin looked up at the display cabinet and smiled. "This empty seat has finally been filled. You guys can put it there yourself!"
Chi Shuo looked at Ye Shaoyang. "Together?"
Ye Shaoyang nodded. "Okay."
Chi Shuo opened the glass cabinet, and Ye Shaoyang carefully placed the World Champions' trophy into the cabinet.
There was a round of applause.
Many of the team members were moved to tears as they looked at this scene.
It had been ten years, and their dream had finally come true.
In the future, everyone could say with confidence that Huan was the World Champions!
Ah Ning looked at the teary-eyed Old Nie and couldn't help but tease him. "Old Nie, did you buy the women's clothing?"
Old Nie rubbed his nose and said, "I bought it! We'll do a live broadcast tonight and fulfill our promise. "
When Old Nie Chu was drunk, he said the words "cross-dressing". He never thought that Huan could win the championship. When he retired, Huan was at his lowest point. He couldn't even enter the first round of the domestic playoffs. How could he talk about the world championship?
Unexpectedly, the addition of Yangyang changed Huan completely.
Huan also became the biggest dark horse in S10!
As an old member of Huan's team, he was happy for everyone. So what if he wore female clothes?
At night, on Whale Streaming Platform, a streamer with the ID "Old Nie" suddenly started broadcasting. Netizens all knew that he was Nie Cheng, the Archer of Huanqian. After hearing the news, they all flocked to the live broadcast room to watch.
In the end, when he came in to take a look, he burst out laughing.
A tall man wearing a colorful dress with a bow on his head and a strange blush on his face was sitting in front of his computer and greeting his friends with a silly smile.
[What's going on? Old Nie, have you ever taken things so hard?]
[You look good in women's clothing. You're not allowed to wear it again!]
[This village girl's style of dressing is really eye-catching.]
[Do you have some misunderstanding about a girl's blush? Who put it on monkey butt for you?]
[This colorful dress, don't tell me Little Xing bought it for you!]
[Huan's aesthetic is finished.]
At this moment, a few comments popped up in the live broadcast room.
[Huan Lieyang sends a deep-sea torpedo to the streamer [Old Nie]!]
[Huan Shuoyue sends a deep-sea torpedo to the streamer [Old Nie]!]
…
Following the appearance of the Sun and Moon duo, the other members of Huan's team also started sending torpedoes.
Old Nie smiled and said, "Thank you, brothers, for the torpedoes! Actually, it's this. When I first retired, at the farewell party, I drank and said that if Huan won the world competition in the future, I would do a live broadcast wearing female clothes! Today, I'm fulfilling my promise and congratulating Huan for winning the world championship! "
Only then did the netizens come back to their senses. They all took screenshots and recorded Old Nie's "dark history of cross-dressing."
A netizen asked, "Brother Nie, who picked this outfit for you?"
Old Nie said, "I bought it online. Does it look good?"
The netizens filled the screen with ellipses.
[So Huan's strange aesthetic is hereditary?]
[Little Star's colorful crystal ball, colorful keyboard, and Old Nie's bright red and green dress.]
[Huan's Archer is hopeless. He likes colorful clothes.]
[Old Nie, please don't buy clothes for your wife in the future, please.]
[Captain Chi and Yangyang's aesthetic standards shouldn't be led astray!]
At this moment, Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo were also broadcasting.
They returned to China to broadcast because they wanted to thank the netizens who had always supported them. Seeing this, Ye Shaoyang couldn't help but smile. "Don't worry, I've always liked white."
In front of the camera in the live broadcast room was the long-awaited ragdoll cat.
After not seeing it for a while, the white cat had gained a lot of weight. Her face was still cute and sweet as she sat on a stool and played with a furball seriously. Many netizens seemed to have returned to the time when Little White was still a newbie streamer.
Every day, he would bring his cat to broadcast and even joke, "The competition is for domestic cats."
In a short period of time, the newbie streamer they followed actually became the world champion!
Many old netizens sent gifts to congratulate Little White.
A netizen asked with concern, "Is Little White on vacation? What are you planning to do next? "
Ye Shaoyang said, "The club will officially give us a break from tomorrow onwards. We should bring the cat back to Star City to rest for a while. We're really too tired today."
Everyone agreed. "In the first half of the regular season, we made a comeback from Group B to Group S. In the middle, we participated in the World Individual Competition, and after the Individual Competition, we didn't stop to rest to prepare for the playoffs and the World Competition. We've been busy all year!" "That's right, you should rest well too!" "Do more live broadcasts when you're free. We want to help your cat get canned food!"
Ye Shaoyang said, "We will. If we're free during the holidays, we'll bring Little White to broadcast."
A netizen next door also asked, "Is Captain Chi going home too?"
Chi Shuo said, "Yes, I'm going back with Yangyang. The plane tickets have already been booked."
Those who were familiar with Huan knew that Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang's hometown was in Star City, so it was reasonable for the club to book their plane tickets in advance.
But what the netizens didn't know was that Chi Shuo was returning to Star City this time to fulfill his promise to his old friends.
— Treat them to a meal.
The next morning, Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo took their luggage to the airport. Little White went through the check-in procedures. After arriving at Star City, Chi Shuo personally sent Ye Shaoyang and Little White home. The two of them helped the cat settle down and filled its bowl with food. Only then did they turn around and go to Star City's famous restaurant in the sky.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Fang Zhengqing, Xie Yuan, Chen Qianhua, and Xu Zhuo, Chi Shuo's four old friends from the Youth Training Camp, had already arrived. Coach Xu from the Youth Training Camp was also there. Xie Weiyu was also invited by Ye Shaoyang. The eight of them met in the restaurant and hugged each other.
Coach Xu sighed and said with emotion, "You're already six years old! When you first left the Youth Training Camp in Star City, you were all children. In the blink of an eye, you've all grown up. "
Xie Yuan complained softly, "Coach, we're actually quite young now."
Coach Xu hurriedly changed his words. "Hehe, that's true. You're only in your early teens, but you're much more mature than when you first started. In the future, you can proudly say that you've brought out world champions! "
Chi Shuo smiled slightly. "Today's treat. Everyone, eat to your heart's content."
In order to avoid being disturbed by outsiders, Chi Shuo booked the VIP top floor of Starry Sky Restaurant. The eight of them ate and chatted at the revolving restaurant. Xie Weiyu and Ye Shaoyang sat together. He leaned over and whispered, "Yangyang, have you and Captain Chi considered retiring?"
Chi Shuo was now 24 years old, and Ye Shaoyang was 23 and a half years old.
At this age, they should indeed consider retiring. However, Ye Shaoyang's hand speed and condition were actually not bad. Perhaps it was because he had evolved relatively late, so he had maintained his peak condition for a longer time?
Some time ago, Ye Shaoyang had done a stress test on himself. He was about to turn 24 years old, and his condition was similar to when he was 20 years old in his previous life. He felt that he could still play for a few more years.
He loved this arena. Even if he won the championship, he did not want to leave in a hurry.
Moreover, if he left the eSports scene, he did not seem to have anything else to do.
Ye Shaoyang looked at Chi Shuo and met his gaze.
Chi Shuo did not know why Yangyang was looking at him, so he helped Ye Shaoyang peel a prawn.
Ye Shaoyang smiled softly and whispered to Xie Weiyu, "He'll probably retire with Chi Shuo. When he retires, he retires. "
Xie Weiyu asked curiously, "Are you guys dating?"
Ye Shaoyang nodded. "You're my best friend. I don't want to lie to you. The two of us are really together. "
Xie Weiyu had an expression that said, "I already guessed it." She whispered to Ye Shaoyang, "I wish you all the best. If you get married in the future, I'll definitely attend your wedding."
Omega and Beta were whispering to each other. Chi Shuo asked curiously, "What are you guys talking about?"
The two of them said at the same time, "Nothing."
Chi Shuo: "??"
Xu Zhuo raised his glass and said boldly, "Come, let's toast to everyone's friendship and to Huan's championship!"
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses.
Although they fought to the death in the arena, they were still the best of friends in private.
There was only one champion.
But on the road to the championship, strong opponents would spur them on to constantly move forward.
In the S10 season, Huan was undoubtedly the final winner. However, Jing Zhe, Yueying, Ice Soul, Beimu, and other teams also played their own style. The players who did not win the championship were also worthy of respect.
…
After the meal, everyone went home.
Chi Shuo drove Ye Shaoyang home, but he couldn't bear to part with him. The two of them parked the car and left the neighborhood to take a walk in the nearby park.
It was already dark, and there were very few pedestrians in the park. Chi Shuo gently held Ye Shaoyang's hand in the shade. Ye Shaoyang didn't struggle and held his hand back, their fingers intertwined.
Although it was winter at the end of December, they didn't feel cold holding hands.
The two of them walked for a while before Ye Shaoyang suddenly asked, "Chi Shuo, do you have any thoughts about retiring?"
Chi Shuo stopped and looked at him. "Yes. Huan's next generation of players aren't mature enough yet. If they leave after winning the championship, I'm afraid there will be another gap in Huan. So I'm thinking that when Yan Bin, Xie Xiao, and the others from Team 2 grow up and can take over their positions, I'll be more assured to leave. "
The reason why Huan fell from the top to the bottom was that during S6, Ming Sheng retired too hastily and directly threw the captain to his 18-year-old disciple. This caused Huan to have a gap in the players.
However, Ming Sheng had his own difficulties and was under great pressure from his family. He made the choice to retire and participate in Huan's management, which had already minimized the losses.
Chi Shuo had never blamed his master.
However, he didn't want to repeat the same mistake. He wanted to hand over the team properly before he left.
Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, "I knew you would be here."
Because Chi Shuo was the most responsible captain Ye Shaoyang had ever seen.
Ye Shaoyang held Chi Shuo's hand and continued to walk forward as he said, "What do you think of Team 2's Xie Xiao? Not bad, right? "
Chi Shuo nodded. "Yes, not bad. When you first joined the team, he was very unhappy and wanted to challenge you one-on-one, but you beat him so badly that he became your loyal fan. "
Ye Shaoyang chuckled. "It's inevitable that Ji Xiao will be arrogant, but fortunately, he's very good at learning. Whatever I teach him, he can learn in one go. So, I want to officially take him in as my disciple and let him be Huan's next mid laner. What do you think? "
Chi Shuo looked at Ye Shaoyang in surprise. "Why do you suddenly want to take him in as a disciple?"
Ye Shaoyang said, "It's not a sudden idea, because I want to retire with you. Before I retire, I have to hand over the team properly. The mid laner is still very important. Once Xiao Xiao is trained, in the future, if Xiao Xiao and Little Star Archer are all strong, Huan won't have to worry about his performance slipping. "
Chi Shuo's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Yangyang to be so considerate of Huan, as if he was another captain of Huan. He turned around and hugged Ye Shaoyang gently, whispering, "Thank you. Do you really want to take in a disciple and retire with him? "
Ye Shaoyang admitted frankly, "Yes. If you're not here, there's no point in staying in Huan. So, when the next generation of players can hold the fort, we'll be together. "
When Chi Shuo heard this answer, a warm current surged from the bottom of his heart.
While he was concerned about Yangyang, Yangyang was also concerned about his feelings and was willing to train the next generation of players with him and retire with him.
With such a lover, what more could he ask for?
This good Yangyang, he had to keep her by his side and never let anyone else have her!
Ye Shaoyang didn't think too much about it. After transmigrating to this world, his biggest goal of being a "world champion" had already been achieved. It didn't matter when he retired.
It was just that Chi Shuo was so nice to him, and Huan's team members were also very cute. He wanted to take in a disciple and train the next generation of mid laners before retiring with Chi Shuo.
But he had been a lot of captain in his previous life, and he knew how much damage it would do to a team if they didn't have enough players. The coach decided the lineup and tactics, but the professional players knew better about the field, the choices during the game, and the reactions at critical moments.
As the S10 individual champion, he was still very confident in his own ability. He also wanted to teach Huan's next generation of mid laners what he knew.
Even if he retired, his mid laner playing style would not be lost.
…
The next day, Ye Shaoyang suddenly received a message from Chi Shuo: "Are you free today?"
Ye Shaoyang replied: "I'm free. I'll be home during the holidays. Other than feeding the cat, I'll be sleeping and playing games. "
Chi Shuo said: "Come to Star City Esports Center at 7 pm. I'll wait for you there. I've sent the ticket QR code to your phone. Just scan it and you'll be able to enter. "
Ye Shaoyang replied: "Okay."
He thought that Chi Shuo wanted him to go to the Esports Center so that he could watch the game with him. Other than the Pro League, there were also many big and small cup competitions in China. Since he had nothing to do at home, this trip would be a good way to relax.
Ye Shaoyang packed up his things and took the subway to Star City Esports Center.
What surprised him was that there was no line outside the stadium. He thought that he was late, so he immediately went to the ticket counter and scanned the QR code to get in.
The entire stadium was pitch black, and there was complete silence.
Only the hallway was lit with a warm yellow indicator light.
Ye Shaoyang looked down at his phone and saw that his seat number was A3-51 in the third row of the VIP section.
a3-51?
Countless memories suddenly appeared in his mind — —
A year ago, when he was still a newbie streamer, the first time he came to Star City Esports Center to watch a game, Chi Shuo gave him a VIP ticket, and his seat number was A3-51.
Was it a coincidence? Or was it something else?
Ye Shaoyang looked around suspiciously. There was not a single person in the entire eSports Center's auditorium!
What on earth was Chi Shuo doing? Did he come too early? Why was there no audience in the entire stadium?
Ye Shaoyang quickly sent a message to Chi Shuo: "Are you playing Dare? Why are the audience seats empty? "
His phone quickly received a message: "Come and sit down."
Ye Shaoyang walked forward suspiciously and sat down in A3-51. The screen in front of him suddenly lit up, and a video appeared on the big screen that was usually used to broadcast the game.
firstblood!
Ye Shaoyang immediately understood the exciting sound effects of the system and the familiar scene — —
This was his first game as a streamer, the exciting scene of Lord of the Abyss taking a pentakill!
Following that, the constantly flashing scenes were like a fast replay of a movie.
In the countless matches of the regular season, Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo had teamed up with each other to finish off their opponents or turn the tide against them … — —
This video was edited from the match between Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang.
From the exciting sound effects and editing style, this should be Qujiang's handiwork?
It looked pretty hot-blooded.
Ye Shaoyang couldn't help but smile as he watched these familiar scenes.
This video was like a summary of S10. Unknowingly, he and Chi Shuo had played so many matches and had so many exciting matches together.
Now, watching these highlights from God's perspective, Ye Shaoyang couldn't help but sigh — —
Every time the two of them cooperated with each other, they could definitely be called a world-class tandem.
Meeting a teammate like Chi Shuo was truly a blessing of three lifetimes!
The video ended when Chi Shuo's Blood-Clothed Assassin pentakill and Ye Shaoyang's Bloodfiend Overlord flashed to the ground. The familiar golden word "victory" appeared on the screen!
Ye Shaoyang applauded excitedly.
He thought that Chi Shuo had asked him to watch this video just to reminisce about the excitement of S10.
But he didn't expect that halfway through the applause, countless moon-shaped fluorescent lights would suddenly appear on the big stage. Those moons were arranged in the shape of a giant heart, and in the center was a disk shaped like a blooming sun.
This seemed to represent — — the heart of the moon surrounded the sun.
Ye Shaoyang's hands froze on the spot as he stared blankly at the dream-like scene in front of him.
At this moment, Chi Shuo's gentle voice was amplified by the microphone and slowly sounded in his ears.
"Yangyang, we've known each other for 104 months and 7 days, and we played side by side in S10. On the field, we had countless exciting matches. I'm very grateful to God for letting you come to my side and become my teammate.
"At first, I thought that my feelings for you were because of your pheromones and temporary markers. But later, I realized that liking you had nothing to do with whether you were an Omega or not.
"I liked your physique and admired your character. Every time I was with you in private, my heart would race. In the past, I never thought about dating, nor did I think about spending the rest of my life with someone …
"Until I met you.
"Only then did I know that you were the person I was looking for."
Ye Shaoyang's heart beat faster and faster as he listened to his passionate confession.
Although it was quite mushy to say these words in front of Chi Shuo, Ye Shaoyang could feel his sincerity.
Chi Shuo paused for a moment before continuing, "Before I turned 24, my biggest dream was to win the Professional League World Championship. After I turned 24, my biggest dream was to be with you and spend the rest of my life with you.
"So, today, I've chosen to formally propose to you at the Star City eSports Center where we first met.
"I love you, Ye Shaoyang. Let's get married."
Chi Shuo stood on the disk in the middle of the stage. He wore a very formal suit and held a bouquet of sunflowers in his hands. His expression was serious and gentle.
Ye Shaoyang sat below the stage. His scalp was numb and he didn't know what to do.
F * ck!
A man proposed to me?
Even in his dreams, he never thought that he would have such an experience!
Chi Shuo, why did you have to do such a romantic and formal proposal?
Ye Shaoyang's eyes were a little moist. He wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.
He had never been treated so gently and with such sincerity by someone.
Before he met Chi Shuo, he had never thought about dating, nor had he experienced what it felt like to like someone. But after meeting Chi Shuo, he knew what the heart was for the first time.
When he was with Chi Shuo, his heart would race uncontrollably.
He obviously didn't want to like men, but he enjoyed being kissed by Chi Shuo.
He bent like a mosquito coil for Chi Shuo.
He liked Chi Shuo.
Ye Shaoyang had always been straightforward. He didn't want to lie to himself, so he fell in love with Chi Shuo. But he never thought that Chi Shuo would propose to him so quickly.
Ye Shaoyang stood up in a panic. He didn't know how to respond.
He never dreamed of being proposed to by a man. It was too exciting!
Chi Shuo walked towards him step by step. He knelt down on one knee in front of the stiff Ye Shaoyang and looked up at his beloved with a gentle gaze. "Yangyang, will you say yes? I want to be your Alpha and protect you for the rest of my life. "
Ye Shaoyang said awkwardly, "Is … is this necessary? Aren't we doing well in love now? "
Chi Shuo said seriously, "Being in love and getting married are not the same thing. It's like the difference between a temporary mark and a permanent mark. A temporary mark can be changed, and a relationship can be broken up at any time. But after an Alpha and an Omega get married, they will mark each other with a permanent mark, which represents a lifelong commitment. "
Ye Shaoyang thought, "A temporary mark can be changed, but a permanent mark can't be changed?
Chi Shuo married me just to "lock" me in?
It seemed to make sense when he thought about it.
Chi Shuo's ears were slightly red. He seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma. He lowered his eyelashes and said softly, "The permanent mark of an Alpha can only be given to one person in a lifetime, and I only want to give it to you."
Ye Shaoyang had the mentality of a straight man. He felt that since they had feelings for each other, there was nothing wrong with proposing. But when he heard Chi Shuo's words, he thought of the picture of the "permanent mark" in the brochure. He couldn't help but blush and stutter, "Permanent … permanent mark?"
Chi Shuo looked up at him and said, "If you're not mentally prepared, we can wait until you're ready. Today's proposal is just to express my attitude — I love you, want to marry you, and spend the rest of my life with you. "
Ye Shaoyang's heart trembled slightly.
Spend the rest of my life with you?
He had also dreamed of having a considerate and understanding lover who could happily spend the rest of his life with him. In his previous life, he didn't experience being in love. In this life, other than Chi Shuo, he had no interest in anyone else.
In any case, when the two of them were together, except for the last step, they had long been accustomed to kissing. He couldn't imagine being so intimate with another Alpha. If he had to be with an Alpha, the only person he could accept in his heart was Chi Shuo.
In this world, it was normal for an Alpha and an Omega to be together.
He also liked Chi Shuo. Why should he refuse and make the person he liked sad?
Looking at the serious eyes of the Alpha kneeling in front of him, Ye Shaoyang's brain heated up. He quickly took the bouquet in Chi Shuo's hand and said, "Promise me. If you want to lock me up, then so be it. I don't want to break up with you anyway."
Chi Shuo: "…"
This Omega was really forthright!
Chi Shuo stood up excitedly and took out a box from his pocket. He opened it and put one of the rings on Ye Shaoyang's hand, "I found a designer friend and had it custom-made. Your names are engraved on the inner ring."
Ye Shaoyang let him hold his hand and put the ring on.
His cheeks suddenly felt hot.
Cough, cough. He had experienced a lot in this rebirth.
He won the championship in a competition and found a boyfriend in passing. Now, a man proposed to him and he agreed. He even let Chi Shuo put the ring on his finger.
This time, it was really locked in!
Ye Shaoyang looked at the ring on his finger and coughed softly, "You're just engaged now? Marriage and lifelong marks, there's no rush, right? You need to mentally prepare yourself. "
Chi Shuo hugged him, "There's no rush. I just want to express my feelings."
Ye Shaoyang relaxed, "Yes. It's too strange to play a competition as a couple. Let's talk about marriage after we retire. Anyway, you're still young. What do you think? "
Chi Shuo nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The two looked at each other. Chi Shuo couldn't help but lift Ye Shaoyang's chin and kiss him deeply.
There were only the two of them on the big stage of the Star City eSports Center.
Beneath their feet were fluorescent lights in the shape of the moon and the sun prepared by Chi Shuo. Although it looked silly, it represented Chi Shuo's "never to be separated from the sun and the moon."
This was the place where they first met. It was the beginning of their fate.
Now, Chi Shuo was seriously proposing to him here. He just wanted this fate to continue.
Ye Shaoyang hugged Chi Shuo back and passionately responded to Chi Shuo's kiss.
He kissed to express: Let's be more straightforward. In this life, I also want you!
Before they were 24 years old, their common dream was to win the world championship.
After they were 24 years old, they had a new dream.
It was to be together with the person they loved for the rest of their lives.
The sun and the moon shone together, never to be separated.
